need the turbo with all connections
bearings
the compression is different, so the rings are wrong, add head and valves.
oh the exhaust, there is a size difference right?
You would have to overhaul the engine to bring up to specs. Is the engine blocks different? Then the transmission, differential are wrong.

Of course you can do the job on the cheap but my guess is the engine would not have a long life expectantly. Then there is the question, what will fail first? Then there is the question of your safety and those around your racing.

Look be safe and do not do STUPID things! If you want to drift do it in a car that can take the beating! You do not want your last words to be "hey guys, look at this!!"

This car is not for drift. If for drift, then I would swap the engine CHEVROLET CORVETTE LS2 6.0. I want to leave his native engine, but to increase capacity without changing it. I have to Supra, Architectural project was Kia Turbo Pro Cee'd, which also had to install a 2.0-liter. engine turbine. There I installed, head gasket was 3.0 mm and 8.4 degrees from 10.2, injectors 630cc, oil cooler, inter cooler, fuel pump wallbro, exhaust manifold for turbo, turbo ..... and it came with 143 hp at 1.3 bar boost to 300 hp

And on this I'm interested in people who have been through it. On, kia, improvements to the lubrication system, was not, run the turbine at about 80,000 km of modes, the gas in the ground.

Still wonder if you understand my message? If you put tougher a substandard engine you will receive substandard results. Still think you are better off with a turbo model. You can then concentrate on what you want to do with the car and not pour a lot of money on the conversion.

To say it simply, it is MUCH better to buy a Supra with a 7M-GTE. Much on the GE will need replacing.

I'm now done beating this dead horse.

Ranma, not everyone who wants a powerful build drives like a crazy person.

My pet peeve is people trying to get by on sub standard. In the end it always cost them more.

And what do you think about this project?

I've built similar and they're seldom reliable. I've built them and watched them burn holes through pistons, overheat and crack blocks, burn rings and lose turbos due to coking oil because they didn't address the oil cooling concerns. I could list, very quickly, all the potential failure points of that build but this is all a waste of time at this point. I have seen many of these attempts fail horribly and the owners usually end up either abandoning the MKIII altogether or finally listen to the people who told them not to do it from the beginning and go with a REAL GTE swap.

I have nothing more to say this is a waste of my time and I'm sick of repeating myself.
